These Twain is a novel by Arnold Bennett, first published in 1916. The story follows the lives of two very different men, Edwin Clayhanger, a printer and businessman, and his stepson, George Cannon, a charming and ambitious young man. The two are brought together when George's mother, Hilda, marries Edwin, and the novel explores the complex relationships and tensions that arise between them.As the story unfolds, we see George's rise to success as a lawyer and politician, while Edwin struggles to adapt to the changing world of business and technology. Along the way, they both experience love, loss, and betrayal, and their paths cross and diverge in unexpected ways.Bennett's novel is a portrait of a society in transition, as the old ways of doing things give way to new technologies and social norms. It is also a study of human nature, as the characters grapple with their own desires and ambitions, and the conflicts that arise between them.Filled with vivid descriptions of life in early 20th century England, These Twain is a rich and rewarding read for anyone interested in the history of the period, or in the complexities of human relationships.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
